Alec Morrison and John Warner
lad an odd experience, last week.
Near their nine In Moss District
they have cabin which is partly d
dug-out, the chimney. of which is cut
out 'ot the rock in the upper side. A
rattle-snake that had gone to sleep for
the winter. somewhere close to the
Chimney having 40 almanac, mis-
took the heat from the fire for an early
Summer, and one day, just after the
snow.storm, made its appearance in
the cleared space id front of the cabin.
When be saw John and Alec, he coiled
and ratified, and they thought he
blinked Under the glare OF the snow,
but were not certain. There were no
missiles handy but some specimens of
rich gold.rock, which they did not
care to throw and before they could
make snow-balls, hard enough to be
effective, their Unreasonable visitor
gave parting rattle, glided into the
light snow and swan off with head
erect and as fast as a water-snake
makes Its way along the surface of a
stream. Both mel started in pursuit,
SHOW. balling the snake as they ran,
but the STOW was too deep for run.

lion has revived the idea of running

of Mount Grant is very steep, rising
from the lake little over 1000 feet in
a distance of three quarters of mile.
The Mountain is traversed in all
directions by mineral bearing lodges,
some of these very large, and much
rich gold bearing float.rock has been
found. The tunnel will make depth
faster than distance, and win in ell
probability cut some of the lodges
from which the above men

Lost Mexican mine is known to
nearly everybody in this section, and
every year one or more parties organ

rich ledge. Frequent discoveries OF
remarkably rich rock keep up the
interest in this almost legendary mine,
and as the size of some boulders
which have been discovered indicates

locator will undoubtedly be one of
the richest men in tile world. Old

Lost In the Snow.
A week ago yesterday NJ. Carabantes

A week ago yesterday NJ. Carabantes
and his partner started from their
mine In Hawthorne District, to walk
to town through the snow. Carabantes
was not feeling we'll when they start.
ed and, the deep snow making pro.
gress very laborlous, he was obliged
to take frequent rests. When they
arrived on the fiat he was unable to 60
but short distance between rests, and
his partner walked on leaving him to
take his time in making his way to
town. Although within few miles
of town the sick man could not make
the distance before it grew dark. and,
then wandered around helplessly on
the trackless sheet OF snow. On &C.
count of the fog, he could not see the
town lights and was lost near his
home. At first he feared that he had
gone too far south and might have
passed to the westward of town. This
made HIM retrace much hardly gained
distance. Turning again he began
desperate effort to keep moving in
staight line, but from sickness and
exhaustion was barely able to keep
from freezing. 1t may seem strange
that he should not be able to fnd his
way over ground with which he was
so thoroughly familiar, but 1t must be
remembered that even one square mile
of fiat snow, covered with fog, would
be d very indefinite expanse. His
hope was that he might strike the
railroad, and then he. would know
where he was, but until lie did find
the track he was utterly lost and had
not the slightest idea Of the direction
in which he was moving. In the
mean time about midnight his friends
learned that he had not yet come in
and Jesus Salazar and the partner who
had started with him procured horses
and went out to search for him. They
| endeavored to find the place where he
| had been last seen but could not, and
| spent several hours riding around
looking for. him. Towards morning
they could have found his tracks but
the drifting snow had covered them
and they were obliged to return, fear
ing that he was lying dead under a
SHOW drift. Carabantes, however,
was not born to be showed under.
Happily, having travelled northcrly he
reached d point on the railroad, some.
where east Of town, whence he made
bis way, YEARLY but certainly. He
arrived at tie Store of Knapp and
Laws d little. before daylight and
awakening, tile, boys was warmed,
dried and cared for Until he was able
to resume his Journey to his cabin.
Notwithstanding HIS rough experience
he was around the next day with
pocket.ful of rock showing much
metal.

The Light Of the Printing Press

Editor Mirror:
have had the privilege of reading few copies
of TIL K MIRROR and am decidedly in favor of its
publica ton, it gives the inmates OF your insti
tuition the chance to communicate with the outer
world and to gain some knowledge OF the opinions
OF the better portion OF society at large. In re-
lation to sending many boys or young persons
to saltwater for petty offences, and allowing
criminals who are a hun dredfold more criminal to
roam at large and make money out of it. Money
is the object; money or the want of it got most of
the boys where they are. They must abide and
let the wheels of time roll them out. as it surely
will in the end.
Now want to say something to all the inmates of
the prison. do not indorse any crime, however
small: never have and never shall. But do say
to you all. there is manhood and womanhood
left in every one of you to make respectable and
honorable citizens if you will only build upon your
manhood with the right matcriaI-truth, honesty,
temperance-and always keep out of bad compa.
ny. Bad company has ruined more than all the
other forces combined. You will meet with great
discouragment when you first get outside; but
hold up your heads look everyone straight in the
eye. Say to them, Il am going to be man." or
woman as the case may be- and you will find some
noble souls willing and ready to help. Why, boys
you see this demonstrated before you. All the
LEGATION OF your little paper. have made some
